VF401
2-Wire Solid State Switch
DESCRIPTION
The VF401 is a 2-wire MR (magnetoresistive) bridge array in a
miniature plastic package, designed for sensing fine pitch ring
magnets.
FEATURES
•
•
•
•
Wide operating temperature range
2-wire operation means less wiring
Enhanced sensitivity,
±7
gauss typical
Output pattern independent of gap between target and
sensor
Patent number 6,297,628.
POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS
•
•
•
•
Speed encoding using a multipole ring magnet
Enhanced accuracy cam and crank position sensing
Wheel speed sensing
Window lift applications
The VF401 allows a greater air gap between the target and the
sensor with reduced loss in sensor signal or accuracy.
